Obama Did A Frank Underwood Impression For April Fools' Day, And It Didn't Exactly Make Sense — VIDEO

April Fools Day has come and gone — without incident for me, thankfully — but for those who are fans of the, uh, ocassion, had an ally in the White House, whose idea of an April Fools joke was President Obama impersonating Frank Underwood in a rather questionable Southern accent. In this week's West Wing Week episode — the White House's weekly web-series of events concerning the president, currently celebrating its fifth anniversary (who even knew this existed?) — Obama at one point speaks to the camera a la fictional POTUS Frank Underwood in the Netflix House of Cards TV show, affecting a pretty atrocious Southern drawl to wish viewers a "Happy April Fools' Day."

Hello everybody. This is not Frank Underwood. This is Barack Obama. Happy April Fools' Day. Frank learned it from me.

I wish things were that ruthlessly efficient. This guy’s getting a lot of stuff done.

But if you think that's bad, apparently April Fools' Day is the one day people in politics think it's fine to just throw around snippy remarks in the form of an atrocious "joke." Newt Gingrich — ever the opportunist — seized the occasion to criticize Obama's foreign policy.

Then, in case you didn't get it the first time around or something, he tweeted, #icymi:

Potential GOP presidential hopeful Scott Walker also pranked us all with a "big announcement" — not about running for president, but to tell us which sports team he supported.

There were a couple of jokes ridiculing climate change deniers, too. Progressive organization Americans United For Change issued a pun-riddled statement apologizing to Republicans for claiming climate change was real.
